Safe Rides for Women in Brooklyn

A friend turned me on to this:

A service that provides safe, free rides for women in the Brooklyn area on Saturday nights between midnight and 3am (see map on website for service area).

There is also a program called Safe Walk that will send a bike patrol (two person team) to walk you home within a 15 minute area April - October. Patrols will be all-genders with the only regulation that there be no all-male teams, as this increases the comfort of those who request to be walked.

ANY one can call for a Safe Walk to any destination.

Lastly, they give low cost self defense classes in Park Slope.
